Hi Manoj ( if your name is that )

Welcome aboard

Until experts come and help you, here you will find a little hint for building console application via HMG.

As per your guide line I started to make a mixed GUI-CONSOLE test application. In which I started application with a GUI Testing Window in which when I click on Create a New Firm option I want to start console window procedure. It runs but it is minimized when I open minimized console window and give input and I want to return GUI main window. It goes but it does not change screen. I want that when I click option It activate console window & hide GUI Window and when it returns from console windows Display GUI Window. which is not working. I compile this as

Are you sure that mixed-mode is a good way for both learning and project development

First of all I am very thankful to you for that you have read my code and give me a good example and I also agree to you for that GUI is better than CUI. But I have to convert my old big clipper application option to option into GUI because my application is very big and I want to present in market immediately because there are very competetion in market and I want to show in market that I am working to convert it into GUI and it's also give me self confidence.

So in starting please help me for mixed application. Later target is fully GUI.

Sorry, but I should to repeat :

The better way is not continue ( even partially as you want to realize ) to old ways for converting old applications;

better way is "burn the ships" and directly begin to the ultimate way ( no matter how big your project );

only requirement is a bit patience

And please don't hesitate asking anything; while we know the answer, we will happy to help.
